Maximum
Allowable Indirect Cost for Grants/ Projects Matrix |

the joint benefit of more than one project and
cannot be readily and specifically identified
with a particular project without effort disproportionate
to the results achieved. Indirect Cost can ONLY
be applied to federally funded projects, however,
may be restricted or disallowed on some federal
grants. The maximum amount payable is calculated
by multiplying the Approved Restricted Rate times
the Actual Subtotal Expenditures. Click here
to download the Maximum Allowable Indirect
Cost Matrix by grant.
*For districts with the county as its fiscal agency,
approved Indirect Cost Rate from Maximum Allowable Indirect Cost Matrix document means "Combined Indirect Cost Rate" if it doesn't exceed a grant's maximum indirect cost rate.
